XtAppAddSignal(3)		  XT FUNCTIONS		       XtAppAddSignal(3)

NAME
     XtAppAddSignal, XtRemoveSignal, XtNoticeSignal - register and remove a sig-
     nal source

SYNTAX
     #include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

     XtSignalId  XtAppAddSignal(XtAppContext  app_context,  XtSignalCallbackProc
	    proc, XtPointer client_data);

     void XtRemoveSignal(XtSignalId id);

     void XtNoticeSignal(XtSignalId id);

ARGUMENTS
     app_context
	       Specifies the application context.

     client_data
	       Specifies the argument that is to be passed to the specified pro-
	       cedure when a signal has been raised.

     id        Specifies the ID returned from the  corresponding  XtAppAddSignal
	       call.

     proc      Specifies  the procedure that is to be called when the signal has
	       been raised.

DESCRIPTION
     The XtAppAddSignal function initiates  a  mechanism  for  handling  signals
     within  the  context of the Intrinsics.  Prior to establishing an operating
     system dependent signal handler the application may call XtAppAddSignal and
     store the returned id in a place accessible to the signal handler.

     Upon receipt of a signal from the operating  system,  the	application  may
     call XtNoticeSignal passing the id returned by the call to XtAppAddSignal.

     XtNoticeSignal  is  the  only Intrinsics function that can safely be called
     from a signal handler.  If XtNoticeSignal is called multiple  times  before
     the  Intrinsics are able to invoke the registered callback, the callback is
     only called once.	Logically the Intrinsics  maintain  "pending"  for  each
     registered  callback.   This  flag is initially False and is set to True by
     XtNoticeSignal; the Intrinsics invoke the callback  whenever  the	flag  is
     True, and the flag is set to False just before the callback is invoked.

     The  XtRemoveSignal  function  is called to remove the specified Intrinsics
     signal handler.  The client should disable the source of the signal  before
     calling XtRemoveSignal.
